The Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) in Punjab has issued a warning about potential urban flooding and landslides due to a fourth spell of monsoon rains, expected to last until August 5. The monsoon season has already claimed 122 lives across the country, according to the latest update.
Authorities in Punjab are preparing for the increased risk of flooding in urban areas, which could lead to significant disruptions. The PDMA has urged local governments to take preventive measures to minimize the impact on communities. The heavy rainfall has also triggered landslides in some regions, further complicating the situation.
The monsoon season has been particularly severe in parts of Pakistan, with reports of damaged infrastructure and displaced residents.
